The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, August 6, 1970—PAGE 5 Built in 1838 by Jacob Kib> ler, “Timberhouse” was acquir ed by the present owners, Mr. and Mrs. Emerson E. West- wood in 1943. A two-story frame house, its exterior is a comfortable “coun try” style with double, column ed porches across the front, and four massive chimneys. Inside there are nine fire places, eight of them matching. The house is constructed of heart pine, and the extensive panelling has been restored to its natural color. The windows are panelled underneath; the interior wooden shutters are the original. The kitchen, once separated from the house, was joined to the house in recent years and enlarged. Items of interest are the handmade brick in the kit chen fireplace, an enclosed stairway in the front entrance hall, the banquet table in the dining room which seats 28, and the collection of antique furniture throughout the rooms. During the- restoration pro cess, army gear (bullet pouches, bayonet and revolver) was found under the attic floor, giv ing evidence to the belief that Yankee soldiers were garrison ed in the house during the War Between the States. SL Monica’s has served since 1894 Established in 1894, St. Mon ica’s Episcopal Church was ad mitted to Convention in 1955 as an “organized mission” under the name St. Monica (St. Aug ustine’s mother). It was form erly known as St. Luke’s mis sion or St. Luke the Physician. It was under charge of the Rev. Fr. G. E. Howell when first opened in 1894. The people them selves bought a lot and built a schoolhouse where, for a time, a day school was held. The Rev. Fr. T. T. Pollard was priest-in-charge at the time of the division of the diocese in 1922. When the Rev. Fr. Edwin B. Clippard took charge of St. Luke’s Church in Newberry in 1952, he became interested in this mission of the black people then without regular services of a priest, and instituted services twice a month. The church, which had fallen into serious disrepair, was great ly improved and refurnished, with the assistance of $987.50 contributed by the national church. Since 1952 many priests have come and gone but the mission still survives with a faithful few: The Rev. Fr. Joe Green, the Rev. Fr. Gordon Mann, the Rev. Fr. Cannon McCreary, the Rev. Fr. Turner Morris, the Rev. Fr. Russell Wilson, the Rev. Fr. Robert Long, the Rev. Fr. Rod Hobart.
